20 Video Games That Secretly Reward You For Failure
2. Deathcards - Inscryption
Inscryption is a unique blend of horror, deck-builder, and roguelike elements that mix together to provide you with the experience of having to play a game of cards against a serial killer.
The game is as unhinged as the description above makes it sound. However, although your life is technically on the line, you shouldn’t feel afraid of losing against your creepy opponent, because this is secretly how you can get your hands on some of the best cards in the game.
The so-called “death cards” are unique additions to your deck that can only be obtained when the player has failed and lost their life due to an unfortunate play. The cards are generated based on your choices at the end of a failed run if you managed to die in Act 1.
The cards are special in that they are created by the player, allowing you to customize them however you want. The end result of this process can be a genuinely powerful card that will be able to overcome anything the game throws at you.
The only catch is that the deathcards can only be created on your first run, so be sure to fail the first match or two to keep winning afterward.
